3. Care and Maintenance

• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture in the soil, particularly during dry spells. Early morning or late afternoon watering helps minimize evaporation.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium in early spring. This aids in strong growth and fruitful production.
• Pruning: Shape your apricot tree by pruning dead or diseased branches, aiming for a V-shaped structure to promote healthy growth and fruit production.
• Pest Control: Be vigilant against common pests like aphids, scale insects, and borers. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil as a safe treatment, applying particularly under the leaves where pests hide.
